Extracting Autocomplete Emails from Outlook 2007

Question

Hello,

I need to extract all the emails that show up as autocomplete entries in Outlook 2007. I mostly need to create a list of all the email addresses which I have sent emails to in the past and dump them into excel.

Should I be connecting to Outlook through COM somehow?

Thanks.

Answer 1

All of that information is in a file in the local settings with an extension NK2.

c:\Documents and Settings\{USERNAME}\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\{USERNAME}.NK2

This utility can read/edit the contents. Here is another free utility.

The file format itself is explained here: Google Code debunk2 explanation of NK2 file format
